Best Specialty Coffee and Pastries in Munich

Best Specialty Coffee and Pastries in Munich

Most café guides treat coffee and food as two separate things. This guide is for everyone who refuses to accept that tradeoff. Munich actually has a handful of specialty cafés where the kitchen gets the same attention as the bar — and these five deliver the best specialty coffee and pastries in Munich.

1. Coffee Twins — Munich’s Best Bakery Café

📍 Munich | ☕ Coffee: 3/5 | 🍽️ Food: 5/5 | 🌿 Vibe: 5/5 | 🪑 Seating: 4/5 | 💶 Price: €€

Some cafés feel like they were built from a business plan. Coffee Twins feels like it came from a shared obsession. Opened in March 2022 by twin brothers Daniel and Jonas Fondaj, this cozy spot combines genuine warmth with a love for handmade food and high-quality coffee that you can feel the moment you walk in.

The pastries here are the best in Munich’s specialty coffee scene — full stop. Everything is made in-house, the selection rotates, and the quality is consistently outstanding. If you visit only one café on this list for the food alone, make it Coffee Twins.

Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday & Friday: 8 am – 5 pm, Saturday: 9 am – 5 pm
Closed; Wed, Thursday & Sunday:

2. Cafe Bla – Best Vegan Cakes in Munich

📍 Haidhausen | ☕ Coffee: 4/5 | 🍽️ Food: 4/5 | 🌿 Vibe: 4/5 | 🪑 Seating: 3/5 | 💶 Price: €€

Cafe Bla earns its place for one specific reason: the vegan cake selection. In a city where vegan baking often means dry substitutes, Cafe Bla does it properly — visually appealing, well-made, and worth coming back for. The Scandinavian-inspired interior gives it a distinctive energy that feels different from the typical Munich café aesthetic. The coffee is locally roasted, which puts Cafe Bla in rare company — making it a top stop for specialty coffee and pastries in Munich.

Opening hours: Mon–Fri 9:00–17:00 | Sat–Sun 10:00–18:00 Location: Haidhausen, Munich

3. Café Faber – The Complete Package

📍 Au | ☕ Coffee: 4/5 | 🍽️ Food: 5/5 | 🌿 Vibe: 5/5 | 🪑 Seating: 5/5 | 💶 Price: €€

Café Faber earns its place on almost every list on this site — and for good reason. The food scores a 5/5: seasonal, homemade, rotating quarterly. The homemade cakes have a reputation that travels across Munich. The coffee side is equally strong with rotating roasters like DAK, Doubleshot, Friedhats, and Nomad. Large windows, Monstera plants, and a genuinely welcoming layout make it easy to stay all afternoon.

4. Suuapinga — Best Cinnamon Rolls in Munich

📍 Munich | ☕ Coffee: 3/5 | 🍽️ Food: 4/5 | 🌿 Vibe: 4/5 | 🪑 Seating: 4/5 | 💶 Price: €€€

Suuapinga is Munich’s most underrated café for food and coffee together. The cinnamon rolls have developed a genuine following among Munich regulars. That combination of in-house roasting and a serious kitchen is unusual at any price point. If Coffee Twins is the best pure bakery experience, Suuapinga is the most complete neighborhood café — the kind of place regulars return to week after week.

5. Oh Coffee — Best Terrace + Food Combo in Munich

📍 Passing | ☕ Coffee: 4/5 | 🍽️ Food: 4/5 | 🌿 Vibe: 5/5 | 🪑 Seating: 5/5 | 💶 Price: €€

The story behind Oh Coffee is one of the better origin stories in Munich’s specialty scene — starting as an online shop for gear and beans, slowly evolving into a full café with a beautiful terrace. The terrace is one of the nicest outdoor spots in Munich’s specialty scene when the weather allows.

Founded by Nino, a well-known Munich barista, the café is calm, minimal, and genuinely soulful. If you need to step away from screens and think clearly over a great flat white or V60, this is the spot — and one of the best places for specialty coffee and pastries in Munich.
